I'd certainly entertain one, strategically placed at the bottom of the garden to frighten the starlings, etc.

Lancashire Police used to have life size plastic coated photographs of a Land Rover police vehicle taken side on - these were placed on motorway and other road bridges and, as they were so realistic, proved very effective in slowing down the traffic below.

what next imitation speed camera,s ? or do we already have them ?
|
We have had these in the People's Republic of Nottingrad for years.
I can't stand them, they are an absolute eye-sore and an insult to our intelligence. They are rock hard, stealing them would be very difficult.

They will be cemented into the ground. My local school has big pencel crayons outside and that is supposed to have a similar effect. It the idia is the driver thinks what the hell is that, then misses that child and knocks them down. What I am going to say next is quite offence and very cynical so I will keep it to myself.
Not seen any fake cameras but there are some which probably don't have films in them.

I reckon drivers will get used to them to the point of ignoring them or at least becoming complacent about them. Then a real, live, kid will run out.................
It's like these "30mph Slow Down" signs - we notice them on day 1 and day 2, but by day 3 we completely ignore them - they're just part of the street furniture.

What about some model "old people" too? Or perhaps a low flying aeroplane on a pole.
